    I lived in Manhattan for two years, and would walk across Central Park almost every weekend to go to the MET. It truly changed my life and opened up my mind tremendously. I’ve been obsessed with ancient art/artifacts/history ever since.

    The MET is the greatest man made place on Earth. Whenever I step inside, I remember again, who I am, and why I am on this planet. To enjoy and celebrate the beauty of this world, as seen thru the works of great artists.

    Biggest regret of my life was giving myself 2 hours to tour the museum. I knew it was famous and iconic but never imagined it's magnitude. I want to go back and spend the whole day there. That still wouldn't be enough. Absolutely amazing.

      You’d get museum fatigue; ideally spend several hours each time you visit so you can enjoy; I have visited many museums of the world, have the say that for the grand ones a well stocked cafe does make a difference, as you can stay the whole day. I remember I spent a day sauntering through the Musei Capitolini in Rome and the National South Korean Museum just because the layout allowed the visitors to rest and stay well-fed. The Vatican Museums on the other hand were horrendous in spite of the nice exhibits, they were not as “long hours friendly” as others.

    I’m a New Yorker and yet I make sure to visit my favorite museums at least once a year, the Met & the MoMA being two of them. The first time I went to the Met was for a school trip when I was about six. I’ve never missed a year since. It’s a museum that feels like home, visiting my favorite artworks time and again, yet there seems to always be something new to learn, rooms to explore and a new appreciation to have for the myriad of artwork spanning the world over thousands of years.

    40 years ago I was a " cater waiter" for Martha Stewart and other high-end caterers. A few times we worked catered parties at the Met in the Temple of Dendur ( spelling? ). It was breathtaking to be around this ancient stone temple. Events in this room were very limited, due to the fact that they can not have too many people around the temple.

    Have had early Sunday mornings in some of the out of the way galleries, have spent a quiet afternoon almost all by myself in French interiors and have had the privilege of having my first MET visit be a viewing of a Picasso exhibit, in about '82 or '83, which included walking into the Gallery with the larger than life picture Guernica introducing the showing -- that just a year or so before Guernica was returned to Spain. To this day that showing formed my art foundation and Picasso and his works remain my most elemental reference.
